About the piece
Painted in 1899 by William Brymner, this work depicts Mount Cheops as seen from Rogers Pass in British Columbia. The composition masterfully balances the immense, light-drenched peaks against the shadowed, lush valley floor where a red steam train adds a sense of human scale and industrial exploration to the wilderness.
